How To Put Your Hair In A Messy Bun

Try a new hairstyle with a messy bun. An easy style that is quick and fast and ready for everyday wear. This clip from VideoJug will show you how to create a messy bun.

My name is Lauralyn from the Braiding Lodge Academy and I'm about to show you how to do a messy bun. Okay, we just want to organize the hair, so we are brushing back her hair into a ponytail. Now, this is easily done on yourself or you can do this on a client.

Once you've got the hair in place and you're comfortable with your ponytail and where it is positioned on the head, you can then be thinking about putting in your hair band and creating the bun. So you take your hair band, you want to put it through once, put it through twice. Now this client has slightly longer hair, and I will probably need to use another band to secure it.

As you can see, I've doubled it through and we leave the back loose and spike the ends of the hair around creating a little chopstick look. And that is literally how you create a messy bun for everyday wear. You've just seen an example of literally a messy bun, it's as simple as that.

And that's how it looks. You can have your own variation on this style. You can spread it out a little bit more, you can make it a little bit rougher, you can make it a little bit neater, but that's basically the idea.

Taking the hair, turning it around, putting it through the elastic band one time and then pulling it through again as a loop. Then you can start to fan it out however you see fit. .
